Who a pilot is for
- Municipalities and water systems planning or running an LSLR program with customer-side replacement obligations.
- Engineering firms administering such programs and responsible for the documentation that survives them.
What a pilot review covers
- The applicable reasonable-effort requirement: the federal floor of at least four attempts by at least two methods, plus the state overlay for your program.
- Your current outreach record — what exists, what is reconstructible, what is not.
- Deployment scope: properties, languages, instrument requirements (notarization, recordability, grantee chain), and export obligations.
What this costs, measured against what it protects
EntryStandard is priced per enrolled property, per program year — a program cost that scales with the program, not an enterprise platform fee. Measured against the stakes, the ratio is deliberate: the documentation layer for an entire program is priced as a small fraction of the cost of a single service line replacement — and a single customer-side replacement whose costs are questioned in audit puts the full cost of that replacement at issue.
Two things worth knowing before a budget conversation. First, documentation and program-administration activities directly connected to lead service line replacement may be fundable within a program's own DWSRF award; eligibility is determined by the state program. Second, 2026 pilot deployments are priced to fit within typical small-purchase authority, so a pilot generally does not require a full competitive procurement. Specific pricing is provided in the structured pilot review, against your program's property count and requirements.
